Chasing the Mist

Lin Yiran chased downstairs, "Brother, the sales office is off work."

Gu Xun didn't look back, and walked like flying, "Go to Ningshui Village to meet Shen Limei."

Leaving the urban area of ​​Baicheng City, away from the bright lights of the city, the night is getting thicker and darker. On the rural roads, the street lights are gone. ink color.

The car was driving at high speed in the dark night, and the headlights became the only light source in the night. A ray of light broke through the darkness and kept moving forward until the truth was found and dawn came.

Lin Yiran adjusted the back of the seat backwards, folded her arms behind her head, Weiwei closed her eyes, and wanted to take a nap, but her mind was messy and sleepy, and the images in her mind began to rewind. The Shen family, every word and deed of the Shen family, and the whole case were replayed in their minds, and many missing plot points automatically surfaced.

Born in a very patriarchal family like the Shen family, as the youngest boy, Shen Yinan should be the most pampered. Even if the Shen family prefers Shen Yibei more, his treatment is not much worse, excessive doting on the environment Children who grew up in middle school are usually difficult to have a calm and steady personality, but Shen Yinan's speech and behavior are obviously different from Shen Yiqing and Shen Yibei.

Some words are logical and reasonable when you hear them for the first time. After a period of time, if you revisit them again, you will find the clues.

Shen Yiqing personally saw Shen Yibei push her second sister into the water five years ago, when Gu Xun asked her how she was sure that the person was Shen Yibei, she said that Shen Yinan came to her afterwards, claiming that he also saw the scene at that time, and told her to keep quiet, His behavior reassured Shen Yiqing, making her sure that the person who pushed Shen Yihuai into the water was Shen Yibei.

Times have changed, the person who pushed Shen Yihuai into the water five years ago, which of the two brothers was it?I am afraid that only Shen Yinan himself knows that without evidence, Lin Yiran, as a bystander, cannot be 100% sure at this stage that the person who pushed Shen Yihuai into the water is Shen Yinan, but thinking about it carefully, the balance in his heart has quietly tilted.

When Shen Yici was killed, Shen Yinan, as a member of the Shen family, had a reasonable reason for his absence every time, and kept a close relationship with the Shen family, so that the police did not pay attention to him many times during their visits, like a fish slipping through the net. Struggling, he roamed freely by the side, the murderer of Shen Yibei hadn't been caught yet, yet he was impatient to buy the house.

Buying a house is not a small amount of money for ordinary people, let alone the Shen family is not rich, Shen Yinan has been worrying about the house for so long, how come he suddenly has money?

Where does the money come from?

How did you earn money?

Is this money related to the murder of Shen Yici's brother and sister?

In an instant, many questions came up, Shen Yinan had to re-evaluate what Shen Yinan had said before, and look at the whole case from a different perspective. Gu Xun had to investigate any abnormal behaviors of the people involved, even if the bamboo basket was empty in the end, he would not Can't miss anyone.

Shen Limei and his wife came back from a walk after dinner. They saw a car parked in front of their house. They thought their son was coming back. When they got closer, they turned out to be the police. They were slightly disappointed and led Gu Xun and Lin Yiran in. They poured two glasses of water for them, "The two police officers are here for me. What happened to my brother’s house?”

Gu Xun nodded, "Did Shen Yinan stay at your house on the night of July 7th?"

"Yes."

"What time did he arrive at your house?"

"It seems to be past 7 o'clock. I can't remember the exact time."

"He lived alone at your house that night, sleeping on his side, right?"

"Correct."

"Can we go lie down and see?"

"of course can."

Shen Limei led Gu Lin and the other two to lie on their sides. The room was clean and tidy, and the north and south were transparent.

Gu Xun stood at the window and looked at it. With a slight push, the glass window opened, "Is it not locked?"

Shen Limei opened the cabinet door and pointed to the empty cabinet, "There is nothing in this room, and our old couple are at home every day, so thieves dare not come."

Gu Xun went to look at the back window again, it was also unlocked, "He lives in this room alone, and the windows are unlocked, how do you know that Shen Yinan sleeps here all night?"

"Yi Nan came to talk to us, then went back to work in the room. I got up at two o'clock in the morning to go to the toilet, and saw that he was still working in the room." Shen Limei said.

"Did you see him at work?"

"That's not true. The curtains are drawn in the room. I saw that there is light in his room, and the computer should still be turned on."

Gu Xun asked again: "What time did Shen Yinan enter the room to work?"

Shen Limei thought for a while, "It's like eight o'clock."

"Did he come out of the room afterward?"

"It's really unclear. The old man and I went to bed at 08:30, and I got up at two in the morning to go to the toilet. I didn't hear any noise during my sleep." Shen Limei was silent for a moment, and then said: "Someone came to my house before and asked, why did you bother?" Come?"

"The person who came last time was a new policeman. He didn't understand the process and made some mistakes. The bureau asked us to go through it again." Gu Xun sighed, with a face full of reluctance, as if he had really been tricked by the newcomer.

Shen Limei looked sympathetic, "It's been hard work, I never thought that Yibei would attack his own sister, this bastard, the Shen family's face has completely embarrassed him."

"What's the relationship between Shen Yinan and his brother?"

"The two brothers have a good relationship, among the five children of my brother's family, Yinan and Yiqing are the most worry-free." The anger in Shen Limei's eyes turned into pride, "Yinan is more sensible than his brother, and he tolerates his elder brother in every way.

Yibei knows that his younger brother is smarter than him, so he will ask his brother's opinion on many things, between the two of them, Yinan is actually more like his elder brother, he is also a college student, and he will stay in the city to take root in the future. "

"Shen Yihuai also went to college, right?"

Shen Limei curled her lips, and then clicked her tongue, "She just rolled her eyes, she deserved to be drowned, my brother and sister-in-law spent so much money to support her to study, but after graduating not long ago, she came home and said she didn't want to take care of her two younger brothers, is that human? "

"The law does not stipulate that older sisters should support younger brothers." Lin Yiran said.

Shen Limei glared at him, "If I don't want to worry about my brother, I just spit out my parents' money."

Lin Yiran was about to speak again, but Gu Xun touched him to end the fruitless argument.

Gu Xun: "Shen Yinan bought a house in Baicheng, did you know?"

Shen Limei gradually showed joy, "The house in Baicheng is frighteningly expensive, Yi Nan is really amazing, when did you buy it? Are you getting married soon? I haven't called recently, so I really don't know how promising he is."

Lin Yiran stared at the vast black night outside the car window, "Shen Yinan's alibi is totally untenable."

"Well, he can definitely jump out of the window while Shen Limei and his wife are asleep." Gu Xun looked ahead and tapped the steering wheel with his index finger, "Shen Yibei's strangulation of Shen Yici is an impulsive crime. Shen Yinan was not mentioned in the statements of the other members of the family.

If it was Shen Yinan's body that was burned, how did he know where Shen Yici was killed and where the body was transported?And how did she know that there was poison in Shen Yici's stomach?Many problems cannot be explained. "

Lin Yiran was silent for a moment, then turned around, "If Shen Yinan is the mastermind, then everything makes sense."

Gu Xun shuddered, subconsciously straightened his back, and looked at Lin Yiran, "Planner?"

"This is just my speculation, and I don't have any basis for now." Lin Yiran turned to the car window again. There were no lights on the village road, the night was very dark, and the stars were very bright against it, like a black cloth covered with bricks and stones, "Brother, stop by the side of the road for a while .”

Gu Xun was puzzled but did not ask further, and followed Lin Yiran's wishes.

The car stopped, Lin Yiran opened the door and went out, leaned against the side of the car and stood, looking up at the night sky.

Gu Xun then got out of the car, walked to him, and looked up following his line of sight. It was hard to see so many bright stars in the city. The cool night breeze brushed against his face, which was very pleasant.

"When I was young, my mother said that people would become stars after death to protect the ones they loved.

Brother, you said, among the stars, which one is my mother? "

The dark night covered Lin Yiran's eyes, Gu Xun couldn't see his thoughts, but felt infinite sadness welling up in his heart, he stretched his arms around his shoulders, and shouted to the night sky: "Auntie, don't worry, for the rest of your life, no matter the wind, snow, rain, or spring breeze, Nuanyang, I will always stay by Lin Yiran's side, take care of him, love him, and don't ask for great wealth, as long as he is safe and happy."

Lin Yiran's nose was sour, but his mouth said in an unsightly way: "How many little girls have you coaxed with this?"

"Not much, just a few streets."

Lin Yiran: "..."

Gu Xun moved his elbow, and hugged Lin Yiran's neck close to himself, "Brother, you have already broken me, so let's stop being jealous of little girls. Although I have a lot of blind dates, Wu Shanshan is the only one I have talked to seriously. Or seven or eight years ago, I forgot all the feelings, and besides, I have never done anything with her, huh?"

Lin Yiran was so strangled that he couldn't breathe, and slipped his head away from under his arm. While moving his neck, he said casually, "She kissed you."

"..." Gu Xun turned around, put his arms on the car, held Lin Yiran, and said word by word: "You kissed me too, and without consent."

Lin Yiran was speechless, and looked away.

"I've never kissed her before, but I took the initiative to kiss you, so don't be jealous of those old things, okay?" Gu Xun pressed against Lin Yiran's ear, his voice became deeper and lower, and the corners of his lips gradually moved forward from the ear.

Lin Yiran pushed him untimely, "Brother, look quickly."

Gu Xun didn't move.

Lin Yiran pushed hard and shouted, "There are shooting stars."

The roar broke Gu Xun's little thoughts, and he looked up at the shooting star flashing past in the night sky.

The meteor was fleeting, Lin Yiran looked away, "Brother, did you make a wish?"

"Yes."

"What wish?"

"Catch the murderer early."

Gu Xun got up and turned to the other side, opened the car door, and got into the car.

Lin Yiran: "..." It seems to have ruined someone's love.

Early the next morning, the two of them went to Shengtian International Sales Center and took out Shen Yinan's photo for the salesman to identify.

"I remember this customer. He checked the house very quickly. He paid for it immediately on the same day. When he paid, he brought all cash. There were two backpacks full of RMB. I even asked him if he would deposit it in his bank card."

"How did he say?"

"Smiled, didn't answer me."

"Who is he coming with?"

"It seems to be a fiancée. The relationship between the two is very close, and the mood is also good. They talked and laughed to discuss marriage throughout the whole process."

Then I asked some routine questions. The sales office had limited knowledge, and no other useful clues were obtained.

After leaving the sales office, Gu Xun called Zheng Tiancheng, "How is the investigation?"

"The bank statements under the names of Shen Yinan and his girlfriend are all normal."

"The money didn't go to the bank, Shen Yinan's sudden huge fortune is very suspicious, take him to the city bureau for questioning."

"Ok."

Half an hour later, Zheng Tiancheng called back, "Boss, Shen Yinan and his girlfriend are gone."
